Information Design is a particular area of design which focuses on clear communication and concise design. Its careful approach to structure, context, and presentation of data and information enables the overall design to be as clear and understandable so that ideas, concepts and information can be effectively communicated to its audience. The principles behind information design relates to all communications products and experiences, regardless of medium (print, broadcast, digital, online, etc.). Hence, the field of information design is primarily concerned with clarity (instead of simplicity) and understanding.
Edward Tufte, a forerunner in the development of Informational Design says that information graphics should entice the viewer into reading the data rather than merely observing the design. This type of design should present a clear purpose and not manipulate and distort data. It should also bring meaning to large sets of data which were previously incoherent and allow the users to understand the relationships between sets of data.
